The Tropical Fish Keeping Hobby has been getting more popular over the last few years and for good reasons.Fish tanks have been proven to be a great stress and high blood pressure reducer as the fish help soothe the mind and soul and make you feel calm and enjoy the watery scenery. Many people either enter the aquarium hobby from a family member who had a tank but no longer wanted it, or they want a new pet. Movies like Finding Nemo and Finding Dory have also caused kids to want to rush out and get an aquarium to keep fish. However, not everyone who gets into the aquarium hobby will succeed because this hobby requires a lot of research and time! Most people fail because they add fish too fast or get the wrong fish. For example Dory is a fish that even seasoned aquarists sometimes have a hard time keeping. Fish Keeping 101 is going to be aimed towards beginners and is going to have helpful tips and information to make sure the beginner's succeed.

Parental alienation syndrome was identified in the 1980s but is just now being recognized by the courts. This breaks the bond between parent and child and a form of child abuse. Primarily it is women who keep children away from fathers since child support has not been paid and judges are now using it to strip custody if fathers can prove a pattern. Becky is bringing awareness to this cause to help dads in this heartbreaking situation.
Special Guest Host Mikey Rollen and Becky will talk with Chad Ginter and Walter Abeyta. Chad has been fighting to see his dayghter for 7 years. All he wants is a 50/50 but moms family is abusing the system since they have personal friends of the family who work within it.
Walter is fighting to see his daughter since the mom left and family and friends are hiding her.
